[Ansteorra-archery] reminders of past stickenflingers

[Brandon James]

Gassman's is still there, that's where Ricardo hosted our first few
practices. They did away with the outdoor shooting area to the left of the
building, so now there's just a little clearing to the right of it. It
worked great for a while, but some work was started behind the area where we
used to shoot. We moved the practices to an indoor range (Mesquite Creek
Archery), and from there to the field we're using now.


Thanks,
David ap Howel

If you program the Way-Back machine in
Bjornsborg, you will find that it was one of the few bastions of archery in
the Kingdom. There were usually 5-8 people at every practice, and IKAC at
every event in the area. Though many of us were so busy with other duties
that we rarely got to finish a round. 
We made hundreds of arrows, both target and Markland style. 
We used to shoot at Gassmann's. Is that still there? 

Crandall, Olde Foole
